Mashup

Mashup:

Zhing Yin, the wealthiest self-made modern career woman in the world, is the founder and chairwoman of the label legend and fashion giant Apple Inc. Zhang defied financial hardships, brutal cheating business partners, murder of her brother Gianni and intimidation from local mafia to build up her wealth, bring innovative products to the market and pursue her dream of becoming a narcissistic perfectionist with a volcanic temper and a terror-inspiring taskmaster. Donatella’s wealth of 1.7 million euro gives her considerable power in the business world and is described as ‘excessive glamour personified’, the ‘empress of waste paper’ and ‘among the greatest business leaders of all time’. She brought a new sensibility to the house of Nine Dragons Paper Industries and leads the peripatetic life only the truly rich can achieve. What distinguishes Steve Jobs from Oprah Winfrey and JK Rowling is his total control of every single aspect and her low profile. What all these businesspeople have in common is their incredible focus and dedication to making a difference, to making a dent in the universe whether it be through fashion, the industrial or the commercial world.

it took a while to get used to drawing at different perspectives - as you can see i stuff these inital ones up completely by trying to keep the face front-on and not placing the vanishing point in a good spot.

Outside: Steven Hawking
The environment outside the wall reflects Steven Hawkings quote: “So it might seem possible, that as we advance in science and technology, we might be able to construct a wormhole, or warp space and time in some other way, so as to be able to travel into our past.” The moving textures and simple rectalinear shapes reflect the motions of advances in technology and time and space travel.








Inside: Florence Nightingale. The environment inside the wall reflects Florence Nightingale's quote: “The object and colour in the materials around us actually have a physical effect on us, on the way we feel”. The differing materiality of walls, ceiling, floor, ramp and imposing cube are juxtaposed and proportioned to create the 'effect' that Nightingale suggests.
The minimal lighting creates contrast and heightens the experience to moving along the ramp from Steven Hawkings vibrant environment, through the central area and into the dark, cave-like interior.
The single shaft of light represents the inspiration for Nightingales ideas.
